## Bibliogram

**Update: RIP Bibliogram.** It has been discontinued due to continuous difficulty added by Instagram that basically pissed off the dev from continuing. A real pity. Guess there's no alternative for this horrible service from a horrible company. Use [Pixelfed](https://pixelfed.org) instead.

Bibliogram is a Free Software frontent to viewing Instagram without the need to register for an account (needed even for public profiles in the official website). Unlike other hundreds of unofficial "viewers," Bibliogram stands out in that it does *not* need Javascript to work (only used for UI improvements). To use it, simply switch the `instagram.com` bit of the URL with any of the instances' address.

The project seems to be undergoing constant development, but there still seems to be some usability bugs, like trying to view further pages of an Instagram profile (seems to fail starting from page 2). There are also a limited number of public implementations around.
